VSCode makes it very easy to selectively install plugins on a remote that doesn’t have internet access and allows fairly seamless editing, debugging and terminal access to a remote with very little effort. But I’ve been looking for alternatives to VSCode’s remote editing experience because I’ve generally got about 6-8 projects that I keep open all the time and it can eat up a lot of RAM and CPU especially when I have several of them running and debugging stuff in tandem. The trick for me is that beyond file editing synchronization I need to be able to debug the code. There’s some promising ideas here, but I haven’t been able to make the jump yet. The jet brains link you shared is the most similar offering I’ve seen, but I’m hopeful distant.nvim or mutagen (plus whatever else I’d need) can be used to get more tools on a similar level of seamlessness.

I'm asking because I'm contemplating on doing some work on AWS. If code runs on AWS doesn't it mean it makes lots of calls to the different AWS APIs. And then in which environment do you debug the code that makes those API-calls? Is it even possible to debug it locally?

So specifically for debugging I have used the remote interpreter feature in most jetbrains IDEs: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/remote-debugging-with-product.html https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/remote-debugging-with... For web dev: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/webstorm/debugging-javascript-on-an-external-server-with-mappings.html#ws_js_debug_on_remote_server_sync https://www.jetbrains.com/help/webstorm/debugging-javascript... I use jetbrains IDEs cause you get this stuff out the box without much fiddling with configs and it’s all integrated together. For lower ram when working on multiple projects they did build a new ide for lightweight remote dev but I havent tried it: https://www.jetbrains.com/fleet/ https://www.jetbrains.com/fleet/ Could be worth a shot.
